It is an AFAP matter as the AFAP are signatory to the J* EBA. They are thus major stakeholders in ANYTHING to do with J* pilots.

I would have liked to see Joe, AIPA, AFAP ALEA and even the FAAA all together at a media conference explaining where they saw aviation safety heading, particularly in regard to off-shoring.

Unfortunately, most senate hearings are not big media events and a submission to the hearing is seldom reported anywhere.

The case of Joe is a catalyst for huge media attention. An aviation employee organisation would be stupid not to leverage off it for the benefit of their members. You simply can't buy this kind of free kick publicity.

I want to see Joe reinstated. Secondly I want to see that what he has been through will not be for nothing. It will hopefully lead to real change.
